Reusable spacecraft conducts successful free-flight at Edwards Air Force Base

Paul Davis looks at how netbooting provides a superior alternative solution for installing and updating software that delivers huge labor savings.

First offering, a Software Defined Radio (SDR) and Electronic Warfare (EW) base system speed development of high-performance deployed applications.

The risk of failure for avionics equipment on-board spacecraft due to radiation exposure is a critical issue for launchers, re-entry vehicles, space habitats and satellites

There is significant commonality between unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and UUV environments with standard rugged military commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) embedded solutions often applicable to both.

Introducing the Smart Backplane subsystem (KAM/CSB/12U), a rugged multi-slot chassis designed specifically for data acquisition, data processing, and recording in radiation-intensive space environments.

Smart Backplane is the Space Industry’s first rugged COTS-based chassis qualified for reliable data acquisition in space radiation environments.
